The dark blue truck driven by a man who tried to escape from police early this morning in Waikiki is shown boxed in by two police cars. Police fired multiple shots at the truck after the suspect jumped a sidewalk on Lewers Street, then struck two vehicles and a pole. The man was taken to the hospital in extremely critical condition and later died.

Two of the five police cars damaged in the early morning police chase and shooting in Waikiki remained at the scene.

Police officers shot and killed a Schofield Barracks soldier who apparently drove recklessly through the streets of Waikiki and was shot by responding officers on Ala Wai Boulevard early this morning.

Three officers were treated for minor injuries and then released, police said at a news conference today.

The incident began just before 4 a.m. and involved two shooting scenes, one on Kuhio Avenue near Nahua Street, and the final location on Ala Wai Boulevard near Seaside Avenue.

The Army confirmed that the driver of the dark blue Dodge truck involved in the incident was an enlisted soldier, assigned to the 25th Infantry Division. The Army is withholding the identity of the soldier pending notification of next of kin.

A police source said the officer who fired was near the PlayBar, formerly Scruples, at the time he engaged with the suspect.

The truck then drove onto Lewers Street and onto the sidewalk as two officers attempted to stop him, Kealoha said. “The truck continued onto the Ala Wai Boulevard where it struck two parked vehicles and a pole,” he said.

Patrol vehicles then converged and blocked the truck between Lewers and Kaiolu streets.

“The suspect began ramming several marked vehicles before officers fired, striking the driver,” the chief said.

Los Angeles visitor Patricia Tence thought she was back home where shootings and car chases regularly occur when she heard a police officer yell: "stop" early this morning from her 11th floor apartment on the Ala Wai Boulevard.

"I was up at 4 because of all this banging," she said.

Tence went to her balcony and saw at least 20 police cars surrounding a truck on the street fronting her building.

"He apparently came down Lewers (Street) and hit two parked cars and then kept ramming the police cars."

Tence said she got scared when she heard shots being fired. "It was so loud. I thought I was back in L.A. with this car chase happening right below me."

Poese Vatikani left his apartment on Lewers Street after hearing sirens and multiple gun shots.

He arrived at the crime scene to watch an ambulance pull up.

"I saw them place him on the gurney and take him into the ambulance to try to resuscitate him."

Paramedics took a man in his 30s to the Queen’s Medical Center, where he died, officials said.

Vatikani said police were able to shoot out the front right tire of the truck.

"You could hear it screeching down the road as he tried to get away."

Ala Wai area resident Pat Bigold said he woke up to the sound of multiple emergency sirens and witnessed the shooting through his binoculars.

He said while his vision was blurred by the blue lights of police cars, he estimates he heard up to 20 shots.

Bigold, who lives on the 20th floor of a condominium located across the canal from the Ala Wai Boulevard, said at least 20 police cars responded to the incident.

“We always hear commotion here,” Bigold said. “I live on the 20th floor of the Kaimana Lanais condo building. Sirens every night, throughout the night. But what made this different was the rising crescendo of sirens and then the sound of a series of collisions. This was the driver trying to break the police enclosure. I got to the balcony just a moment before police opened fire. Sounded like a barrage of fire and I would guess up to 20 shots were fired, but I could be wrong on the estimate. There is some echo across the canal.

“It was a pretty good job by HPD to contain a dangerous situation so quickly.” Bigold said.

Bigold said he videotaped the suspect lying on the ground without a shirt until paramedics took him to the hospital.

Several hours after the shooting, police were still at the scene collecting evidence and taking pictures of the scene.

A pickup truck could be seen boxed in by several police cars. Some of the police cars were damaged, apparently in some sort of collision with the truck.

Maj. Richard Robinson, head of the Criminal Investigations Division, said five patrol vehicles were damaged.

Hawaii is very tiny compared to the USA. Still Hawaii is strategic out in the Pacific, as the USA decided to take Alaska and Hawaii as the 49th and 50th states in 1959, just 14 years after the end of World War II and 18 years after Pearl Harbor. We here do not understand the rich history of the islands enough as i myself have never been to The Arizona Memorial. I have been to Punchbowl many times though, as both my Grandfather, who served in World War I and my Father, who served in The Korean War, both are honored in Punchbowl. Enough History Lesson. Now today: only time will tell why this active soldier went into this craze. Also it is unfortunate that conflicts, wars and disagreements between people get written about the most. I like sports myself, and why not enjoy sports rather than endanger people in Waikiki? In fact, if this incident happened in say Waipahu, we would be less inclined to be attracted to it.

Then, we read about the horrid details. btw, I went all the way around to Kahala Mall via Diamond Head Road, and saw some filming crews on the road leading toward the Waialae Country Club.

Once they had the culprit cornered, trapped with nowhere to go, is there some non-deadly force that could have been used to subdue him? There must have been a lot of adrenaline pumping and emotion on the part of the police officers, but they get paid to be the cool professionals.

hpd will use the excuse the truck is a deadly weapon. I think they had him cornered, so why shoot.

For those that haven't been following along, we've lost more soldiers to suicide last year than we did in the wars. Otherwise most know - war is hell.

Better the soldier died by police bullets, than waiting until he would have killed some unlucky bystander with his reckless driving,

Just a soldier drunk having a good time, make a wrong turn and try to turn around, then the next thing you know someone is shooting at him and he's back in combat in a hummer being fired upon by the enemy and he's trying to save his buddies. You'll find out he was a great solider, son, brother, mentor, hero, and possible father, great neighbor who always helped others and never asked for anything.

I wonder if he was one of the schofield soldiers that just got back from afghanastan and had PTSD and wanted the police to kill him because he could not do it himself a very sad story.

probably needed a few drinks to get up the courage to do what he did for HPD to kill him. when you think about it because he did not have enough courage to kill himself..
